Converting interest into success

Teemplay was founded on the evidence that video games are capable of contributing to a better world. The company hopes to maximize collective creative potential with their interactive gaming platform, and they did a fantastic job of maximizing their fundraise by reaching out to their fanbase and personal network. Bringing in 41 backers and achieving 193% of their fundraise goal, the founders of Teemplay proved that network outreach is an incredibly effective tool to launch a successful crowdfund.

Emulate Teemplay’s success – here are some best practices for network outreach:

1. Determine who your current customers are and create compelling rewards for them – they already like your product and can be your biggest supporters.

2. Compile a list of friends, family, and members of your network. Avoid spamming everyone in your network, but compile the largest list possible of people who may support your cause.

3. Craft a personalized email to customers, friends, and family explaining exactly how they can help. Include information on the different rewards tiers you’re offering, and ask that they share your fundraise through their own social networks to increase your support base.
